If you could live in a fictional house from any film...

[HopefullyOneRandomDay]

Which one would it be? I'll go first. The Father Of The Bride house. It's just so lovely and welcoming. I imagine it would be so cozy at Christmas too... I live on my own so obviously it would be me and five cats.

I know most of you will probably say the Mrs Doubtfire house but I cannot be arsed with hills!

Baxter's apartment in The Apartment. In black and white, obviously.

With or without the swans?!

Hmmm, obvs Home Alone house for Christmas, Practical Magic home for autumn… let me
ponder for the other seasons

The Home Alone house. I'd need a cleaner though because fuck cleaning all those rooms by yourself.

The Bridgerton House in Mayfair

Steve Carell & Timotheeeee Chalommmmet's house in Beautiful Boy and Bradley Cooper's in Star is Born. I love a bit of West Coast rustic modernism. Yes I know, they are probably not ideal representations of domestic life but they are so beautiful.

Anne of Green Gables house.

Erica’s house in the Hamptons in “Something’s gotta give”

And tennis racket for the spaghetti?

Bag End in the Shire. Always.

Either the house in Home Alone or 10 Things I Hate About You. As a child I wanted to live in the apartment in 3 Men and a Baby

Oh, tied between Timothée Chalamet’s Italian villa in Call Me By Your Name and Melissa and Nick’s house in Conversations With Friends.

i loved lord lucan's house although probably not what you had in mind

also i LOVED the house in that ricky gervais programme when he was a moody widow journalist. i can't rememember what the programme was called but the house was gorgeous

The house Noah restores in The Notebook. The blue shutters and the wraparound balcony.

Or the house from Charmed.

The beach house in Grace and Frankie. A TV series but I’m sure it’s allowed.

Anywhere in Portmeirion.

Brideshead Castle 😍

The Miracle on 34th Street House. The one with Richard Attenborough.

After Life

Diane Keaton’s Hampton beach house in Somethings Gotta Give.

So many!

First thought was the house from The Family Stone.

Also the Home Alone house obviously.

Also Mrs Doubtfire particularly because I have lots of fun memories of San Francisco.

Basically any massive fuck off American house (ideally transplanted into England!)

Pemberley.

The house / apartment in Big with a trampoline room and a floor piano.

If we can have series, the farmhouse from The Darling Buds Of May, or William's house in The Crimson Petal and The White, or the house on Princelet Street in Luther.

I'm firmly planted in the 90s.

I love the Home Alone house for all its grand and garish glory, BUT the scene in Mrs Doubtfire where 'she' has had the caterers bring food, and says to Miranda 'dinner is served dear' is the dining room of my reams. The warm lighting bouncing off the tableware is just perfect...sigh.

Lorelai Gilmore’s house. I’d love to live in the whole town to be honest.
